TAKE THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX

Saturday Symmetry

copyright Yamini Ali MacLean

Chose to do this one in B&W as it suits the starkness of all those chimney pots and somehow speaks of the era in which they were built (late 1800s)The alert will recognise the lamp-post... Taken with the 'Nik' on B&W mode, standard focus.

A chimney pot question. Is there a separate fireplace at the end of each pot? i.e., a separate flue travelling from a lot of fire places. Or, more simply, why are there so many chimney pots on a chimney?

Hari OMBill - actually only once (as the focus); they line the forefront at Rothesay so hard to avoid!! At least the pots are symmetrical in their higgledy-piggledy!!

Sylvia - thanks!

Joanne - good question!! At this time three would have been one main fireplace in every flat in the block, so yes they each represent a flue... posh places would have had a fireplace in the main bedroom too!!

YAM's Eternal Flame with prayer:

May each find in their heart a sense of peace. May each find in their heart the way to peace. May each find in their heart True Love Divine. May each find in their heart peace and only peace. Amen. You too can light a candle and leave a prayer. Click the image.
